Re: FLAT BATTERY!!!??!!

[quote=""X5Sport""]Unfortunately my local Audi Dealer in Cambs is not reputed to be a good one. Their sales staff have a nasty habit of only talking to men, even if it was their wife that asked the questions. They completely ignore female partners.

Re: X6 35d MPG

I do about 8,000 miles a year but as I work from home most of my day to day driving is the 2 miles round trip school run twice a day and the 8 mile round trip to the supermarket and I average about 21mpg I suppose that a Lexus RX 400h would have been a more sensible choice in terms of fuel economy ...
